match point, match point, at such a time of ending, God still seems unwilling to put away his dice!
The way the film is clever, the plot is tight, and it's done in one go, it took my breath away from beginning to end, completely immersed in the story!
Chris went from a poor boy to a high-rise, and slowly entered the upper class, gaining wealth and status. In contrast to Nola's life, Nola's audition always failed. So far, he has only shot an advertisement, and then his relationship failed. Luck is completely different. Contrasting is not only luck, but also character. Extremely aggressive, chris has it, but nola doesn't. Chris's seemingly introverted personality hides a strong possessiveness, while nola's seemingly unruly personality hides it It is a crisp and simple heart! It is this difference in character that determines the final outcome! Chris said: "Believe in God is to surrender!" So chris finally chose the cruelest and easiest solution: Bah! And nola was immersed in the joy of having chris a second before she died! The director didn't give Nola's final expression, maybe he couldn't bear it! It can be seen that chris does not believe in luck, but luck saved him, which may be an irony!
The ending of the movie is ingenious, but the one shot that didn't cross the net saved Chris, maybe it was ironic! I don't want to discuss any luck here. The film review of "Weapons Can Take Luck, Please Bring Your Own" is to the point! I think what the director wants to explore further is the contingency and inevitability in life! Luck is also a part of chance. Chris confessed to the deceased in the dark: "If I am arrested for justice, it will also be a cycle of retribution, at least it means that there is still some justice, some proof that everything is inevitable!" But in the end, this must not appear.
In fact, the movie is full of coincidences. The acquaintance of chris and nola was coincidental, and it was even more coincidental that they met again. And the encounter between chris and tom is an accident of necessity, because it is a rich man's sport!
Milan Kundera also discussed accident in "The Unbearable Lightness of Life". Thomas met Tereza and lived together as the result of the superposition of six accidents. At this point, the director and Kundera have the same understanding , life is the superposition of countless coincidences! Domino effect, any accident will lead to different results!
Internet or not? God always picks up the dice instinctively! Life is so absurd that we can't help but wonder if we're just a kingdom of ants in a cave in the corner of God's house!
Finally, I have to mention the part where chris murdered. The vigorous and powerful opera accompanied by chris's breathing gradually pushed the plot to a climax, making people suffocating! The interweaving of beauty and ugliness once again expresses the author's mockery of the absurdity of life!
